Abstrakt: Hypertension is the greatest driver of cardiovascular mortality and onset might be in youth. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for elevated blood pressure (hypertension ≥140 mm Hg systolic, ≥90 mm Hg diastolic, or both) and high-normal blood pressure (130–139 mm Hg systolic, 85–89 mm Hg diastolic, or both) among youth in Zimbabwe.
